Frank Reich Still the Problem?

Of course it did because Frank wasn’t the problem.

Without watching the 22 tape, it just doesn't feel like we can stretch the field enough. Ryan is accurate and a pretty quick decision maker for the most part... but things always feel so clogged up. And receivers also seem to have to wait on the ball a noticeable amount even on medium stuff.

The offensive line turned back into the pumpkin it’s been all season after a Cinderella performance against the awful Raiders. 4 sacks allowed and no room for JT.

Ryan isn’t ideal but he’s completely neutralized behind this offensive line.

You can live with Raimann going forward and maybe Fries, too, expecting growing pains. But our vet OL has not played up to standard this season. And we severely miss Jack Doyle and all the "boring" stuff he did so well in run and pass games (MAC is pretty invisible). By the way, we still don't seem to do much creative in the run design, particularly wide, which might loosen thing ups.

Ryan does a lot of stuff well. Still don't feel like we stretch the D out enough. Ryan apparently isn't confident going over the top and even the medium stuff has our WR's waiting on the ball a noticeable amount of time. I think that tightens things up, too, both pass and run game.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it just seems clogged all the time. And Reich's gameplanning doesn't seem to be the issue. It produced before and I wonder if we'll miss him when/if we get a young QB settled.

Ryan's arm is no stronger than Ehlingers'. On the pass to Campbell setting up a 1st and goal at the 4, a bullet pass would have resulted in a TD.

With his 4.37 speed, why don't they have any pitchout run plays that have Taylor going wide? It's always up the gut and I believe the Eagles over played the middle run play.

Finally, I believe they did the wideout behind the LOS 3 or 4 times and it was never successful. I was telling my friend Andy, why not call that, and have Ryan pump fake it, then go deep to a WR running a cross pattern?

Henry gets most of his big runs on pitches outside. Taylor is faster. We need to emulate that strategy with Taylor.

This is simply a poorly constructed team. Best running back in the league and an immobile QB makes OL play even more critical. They gambled at LT and RG and lost. That has cost them another season. Hopefully Raimann develops.

Agree on the outside runs. They used the Eagles' aggression on the screens for a deeper throw once that I recall. Pittman faked the pick, they all jumped pump fake to Campbell, and Pittman was open for a 15 yard throw. One of those throws that seemed to lack zip and he kind of got hung out and took an immediate big shot to the ribs. Luckily he's a big dude.

You clamor to get rid of Ballard the same way guys clamored to get rid of Reich.

I didn’t see Reich as the primary issue with the team. Pointing out what I see the issue is is on topic for this thread. I’m not spamming the game thread with fire Ballard every time Raimann or Fries fuck up or simply a play doesn’t work like the guys clamoring to fire Reich were. And for the record, I see value in Ballard but I do believe he follows a losing philosophy. If that is changeable by him or by direction from Irsay I’d be fine keeping him.
